A comparative dialogue analysis. This item is unavailable.A comparative dialogue analysis

At the limits of human life there is a question that concerns psychology, which refers to the act of leaving life voluntarily. Suicide is one of the ways of dealing with suffering and the world as it has been since the dawn of time, also known sociologically as a social fact. With this in mind, the problem of this research revolved around analysing two cases of suicide ideation due to homicide committed by the suicidal individuals themselves. The general aim of this research was to problematise the relationship between suicide, homicide and the motivations behind the former happening as a result of the latter. To this end, the theme of suicide was chosen, for which a corpus was constructed consisting of two works that are classics of Universal Literature, namely The Stranger (Camus) and Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky), which feature protagonists involved in homicide who spend part of their lives contemplating suicide as an alternative to their suffering caused by the crime. The research was based on Psychology and Psychoanalysis, specifically Freud (2006 [1915]), for whom suicide is a dangerous tendency of melancholy.
